Comment on Two Australians reportedly injured after New York taxi veers into pedestrians
No1@aussie.zone 5 weeks agoYeah, I was being a bit facetious(?) with my comment. I was just thinking how things might look in NY (or elsewhere) in the future if all the taxis were self driving. And then that got me going down the Terminator path where they became self aware, and decided the humans were the problem…
I get that self driving cars can be a lot better than a human driver - faster reaction times, never sleepy or drunk/drugged etc.
Like you say, though, it feels really weird to think about what it would be like when a self driving car makes a mistake. Even for something trivial, eg say a robot car ran into the back of me at a traffic light. “OK, how do I get his drivers license?” 🤔
